People Get Ready Lyrics - Curtis/live - Curtis Mayfield

People get ready 

There' a train a-coming 

You don't need no baggage 

You just get on board 

All you need is faith 

To hear the diesels humming 

Don't need no ticket 

You just thank the Lord 

People get ready 

For the train to Jordan 

Picking up passengers 

From coast to coast 

Faith is the key 

Open the doors and board them 

There's room for all 

Among the loved the most 

There ain't no room 

For the hopeless sinner 

Who would hurt all mankind just 

To save his own 

Have pity on those 

Whose chances are thinner 

Cause there's no hiding place 

From the Kingdom's Throne 

So people get ready 

For the train a-coming 

You don't need no baggage 

You just get on board! 

All you need is faith 

To hear the diesels humming 

You don't need no ticket 

You just than, you just thank the Lord 

Yeah Ooh 

Yeah Ooh 

I'm getting ready 

I'm getting ready 

This time I'm ready 

This time I'm ready
